You will have to go to 25 pitch Mirage or Mirage plus or a 24 Bravo one. Bravo one is a 4 blade and the boat will handle way better. Not as fast as a 25p mirage though. Still probably 75+mph.

Your engine has a lot of power, but less torque than the bbc, the solutions are as follows:
1.) Instead to gear 1.5, use gear 2 and you will get a super drive with a prop pitch over 30".
2.) A cheaper solution, which is not as efficient, is the use of a propeller, which will leave the engine above 6,000 rpm. I think you need to use arround of 22" pitch propeller, not to bigg. I have on MSA Marine drive a Signature SL five 22 but will buy another with 21" to spin the motor all the way up to 6.200 rpm.
